Roy Christopher Krishna is not a stranger to most Fijians.

The Labasa man is known to the world for his football skills.

His football journey began when he was only a teenager representing his home district in Labasa.

He now plays striker for Indian Super League club, Bengaluru.

Mr Krishna made his debut for Fiji at the South Pacific Games in 2007 and has also played in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification tournament.

The former All Saints student began his international football career when he joined New Zealand Football Championship (NZFC) side Waitakere United in 2008.

His opening goal against Mexico at the 2016 Rio Olympics was Fiji’s first and only goal at an Olympic Games.

The father-of-one will be returning to India next week.

With 31 goals in 45 appearances, Krishna leads the charts for goals and appearances for Fiji.
